As I continue to prepare my full return to the industry with my forthcoming Hip-Hoppreneur ™ advisory service I’ve been having some interesting conversations and negotiations with artists, producers, managers, entertainment lawyers, publicists, and executives.

The Mixtape: The End Of An Era? For the last month two ‘non-albums’ have struck me as marking two eras in Hip-Hop: the Freddie Gibbs Str8 Killa EP on one hand, and the There Is No Competition: 2: The Grieving Music Mixtape 2 from Fabolous. Conceptually it is difficult to find a DJ involved with […]

In the famous song “Dopeman,” spit by Ice Cube over 20 years ago, one line stood out for being the most memorable: “Don’t get high off your own supply.” We all remember that lyric, because getting high was the job of the crack head, and the man in charge made sure he was always in […]

This is one of my most serious editorials that I’ve ever penned. It’s very serious because it deals with people’s lives and whether or not they’ll choose to live or die. In writing this piece, I have to reflect back on the lives of other men who found themselves in similar situations and use them […]
